On this episode of the en(gender)ed #SurvivorStories series, we speak with Nanette Chezum, a survivor of officer involved domestic violence or domestic abuse with a police officer.  We speak with Nanette about her experience as a survivor, the response from law enforcement, and how her experience was both informed and enabled by a culture of sexism, misogyny, and victim-blaming in law enforcement that intersects with police brutality across the country.  We also explore the relevance of proposed reforms such as “defunding the police” and “restorative justice” to building a culture of accountability for abuse. During our conversation, Nanette and I referenced the following resources and topics:  Colorado law eliminating qualified immunity Our interview with Nazir Afzal whose prosecutions of gender-based crimes helps prevent other crimes How implementation of the "Quincy Solution" can help prevent children from being  harmed by domestic violence How juries have a hard time convicting police officers The Town of Castle Rock v Gonzales case which says that orders of protection don't require mandatory enforcement by the police How a person investigating the death of Michelle O'Connell in Florida, was herself, found dead NYC Police Benevolent Association's endorsement of Trump The dangers of using "restorative justice" practices with victims of domestic violence and how advocates of it weaponize race to justify its use for all survivors  --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!
